twilight23 - 2009-11-11 21:59:00

Daughter gave me a pumpkin plant tonight she had bought for me, since my plants havent come up yet, i asked her what kind it was and she read out from the label - 'jack be little pumpkin' then she read 'saying oh um ooops 'magical miniature pumpkins that are just 3" across and 2" high each plant will bear 6-7 fruits that will last up to 8 months' awww was so funny, she didnt realise what she had got. Will be interesting growing it tho :) what a sweetheart to even think to buy me one aye.

Edited by coalrange1 at 8:23 pm, Thu 12 Nov

coalrange1 - 2009-11-12 20:13:00

Twilight - i was wondering - what if you put little doll/teddy quilt kits together ???? To sell at market - you could write out instructions and cut fabric - maybe even pic of one made in the packet too. They could be raggie or not ????
May attract girls to make their own, grandy enjoyed making hers.
Have a think about it :)

coalrange1 - 2009-11-12 21:35:00

Twilight you dropped me home from india ages ago, arent you home yet hehe lol
Im off to bed, sweetdreams sis
Night all, hope you are all talking a bit more tomorrow ;)
